All others rooted phones have a message showed when an application asks root, why don't we have this on Tattoo ?
On Tattoo root permissions are always enabled
Ok, it's nice but we can't see which application ask root :/
Like Terminal Emulator, when you launch it, the shell is always in normal user "$", not in root :/

This is true, but I dont know how, after isntalling 5faif ROM, terminal emulator shows me the #, id command shows me that I'm root.
I'm on stock ROM, this is the problem i think!
Anybody has SetCPU ?
The problem with this is that every application can obtain root without our knowledge.
It is a serious security flaw.
Not really. Android is pretty secure. Even if you get a brick from a Andirus (Virus + Android), it's a piece of cake to undo the damage.

Because that rom you've flashed contains custom boot.img by mainfram3 that gives to you root at startup and loads tattoo-hack.ko (partition r/w always mounted)

Actually i wasn't having viruses in mind. More like keyloggers and such. SU prompt wasn't invented for no reason...
I think the OP was asking about SuperUser.apk.
It's a modified su plus a service that asks for user intervention when a program calls /system/bin/su. It's nifty and it should be used by everyone.
Android apps are prevented from looking into other apps data. If su is readily available, a app can escalated it's privileges and steal your personal info, by reading data from other apps.

Exactly my point.
MoDaCo Custom ROM 1 includes Superuser apk for root access.
P
Anyone know how to fix Superuser Permissions manually?
I have Tattoo with rooted boot.img (mainfram3)
I pushed su into /system/bin/
Made chmod 4577 /system/bin/su
Pushed superuser.apk from Modaco Rom to /system/app/
Restart sure...
SuperUser Permissions can be executed (list is clear)
But any app doesn't send request to Superuser Permissions.
What i could forget?
Finally, I solved it partially.
Sure, i have rooted boot.img
I extracted from Modaco Custom ROM for Tattoo:
su
Superuser.apk
copied su to: /system/bin/su
copied Superuser.apk to: /system/app
run in terminal: chmod 4577 /system/bin/su
restarted and everything works fine now... Superuser Permissions shows all root-requests, Titanium Backup works, other root-things works too
But i notice, that su-binary from Modaco ROM is about 34-36 kb, but
su-binary from guide of getting root is about 80-85 kb.
1-2 months ago we faced with difference in size of su. We choosed bigger su in case, what it can run "flash_image", smaller su can't run.
But maybe it fixed already? I did not test it yet.
Thanks @5[Strogino]
I was trying to use Titanium today to back up my apps but it didn't work.

What exactly wrote TB?
Did you download busybox via TB?
I don't remember exactly.
It did ask me to download busybox and I did that, but still it didn't work.
Hi
I've got a Galaxy S and I've install Gingerbread (2.3.4 JVP) and the voodoo lagfix (stock JVP with hacks (here)).
I've installed Superuser and restarted the phone, but can't get busybox to install, as it says I don't have root.
I can get root in Terminal Emulator and so have tried "busybox --install -s /system/xbin/", but both busybox executables (/bin/busybox and /sdcard/busybox) on my phone say applet not found.
I want to restore my backups from Titanium Backup, but it also says I don't have root and so I can't use it to install busybox.
I know that I can use "am start" to run an app, but is it possible to run an app as root (I tried su and then am start)?
I've searched the forum, but can't find any advise, besides install superuser, restart and update busybox. Could any please help me get root, so I can restore my backups.
Thank you
That kernel is for jvb/jvh! Problem solved! Think he had done one for jvp
GTi9000 insanitycm010/insaneglitch
Apologies, just noticed that link has jvp too, did you install correct one?
GTi9000 insanitycm010/insaneglitch
Yes my phone shows firmware version 2.3.4 and baseband version I9000XXJVP.
Something I realised, after getting help on the project-voodoo IRC from supercurio, was that I have two su files. One in /system/bin which is 0 bytes and one in /system/xbin which works. This may have been due to superuser wanting to update su and maybe broke it instead. I assume that this would be causing my problems?
I've tried to copy the one from /system/xbin into /system/bin, but the folder is read only. I'll try to find a copy of su to flash (superuser gives me a signed copy, but CWM recovery says that its broken) and see if that will fix the problem.
I decided to reflash and not install superuser from the market place, as the voodoo lagfix includes one (I didn't realise this before), and now everything works fine .
Ah, nice to see you sorted our yourself, its great when people take it on themselves to at least try well done dude

I f'ed up guys, it seems that after rooting I dont have access to edit data on my phone, it can boot and all, but I cant for example take pictures(says it doesn have space wich is not true), intall apps, etc. I dont know in what extents it affected because I can uninstall apps for example.
When I try to delete a file with a file explorer it says the access was denied. Nor I can copy files from my pc to the phone.
I have a XT1063 with lollipop 5.0.2 that I installed manually before and worked great.
I installed Super SU through TWRP 2.8.5.0 (maybe wasnt compatible with lollipop?) that have Super SU 2.4 built in (according to what i’ve read, maybe this version of Super SU isnt compatible?).
Anyway, after that I proceeded to install busybox with default configuration and later smscript, dont know if all this is relevant. I only was aware of the problem when I tried to download a script for smcript but couldnt save it to my phone.
So next I tried to unroot from super su configuration with no luck, only got to unroot after uninstalling busybox. (also uninstalled smscript if that matters).
I hope I gave enough data if you need more just ask, thanks!

Just upgrade to android 6.0.1 and redoing the root,busybox stuff
While rooting, I learn that /system is quite packed. After a few research time, many suggest that to place something in /system, delete some system app(particularly those available at Play Store, e.g. Sheets, Slides, Google Music, etc). So I delete some of them and thought I can flash busybox easily.
I was wrong.
Even I go to TWRP and mount /system rewritable, no matter I use "adb push" or "cp (in adb shell)" to place busybox into /system/xbin, they tell me there is no space.
But if a use "df" in adb shell, non su mode, it tells me there are 14.7MB, while my busybox binaries only 1.05MB.
Do anyone got idea to solve this and so kind to help me? Thank you.

yes, google did it on purpose. its not full, but it is. use a root file explorer, delete some apps, reboot. then youll be fine after
An alternative solution is to backtrack your modifications to /system and install SuperSU in systemless mode. Installing Busybox afterward will send the files to the /su/xbin directory. As a bonus, Android Pay should function normally.
Use a root explorer or in TWRP mount system and delete /system/app/(any foreign keyboards you don't need, such as GoogleHindiIME, GoogleJapaneseIME, GooglePinyinIME, KoreanIME)
I used systemless root. Then I could install busybox at /su/xbin instead?
And just for report, it seems uninstall won't help without manual deletion of /system/app, all system apps I uninstalled through Titanium Backup automatically revived after reboot.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
I don't know about the other busybox installers, but Stericson's busybox installer does have /su/xbin as an available install location if systemless root is detected.
Hi, long story short, I want to make some apps system apps with Link2SD.
I tried using LO14 or some other LO14 based rom and just can't. I read som ewhere that it may be because I have no permissions to write on the system folder. I tried starting TWRP wizard again and setting it to be able to write with no success.
Any help?
I am rooted with magisk working just fine.
thanks!

As I've seen, Some apps don't work well with other SU except for SuperSU. Get rooted using superSU, everything should work just fine. You can always Uninstall and go back to magisk once you're done.

But should I delete magisk, unroot and root again with super su?
Or is it as simple as installing supersu or something?

It's better to follow the procedure you mentioned Uninstall magisk, install supersu then install magisk again... But only flashing superSU zip will also work I guess. You can give it a try. I've done it once I guess

I managed to install supersu but anyways wasn't able to get the /system partition writable. Used many guides and even apps that should do it with superuser permissions and nothing. Just cant.
Any help?

the error is the following..
mount: '/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system'->':/system': Device or resource busy
Thats the error. Tried with titanium backup pro version and it gets stuck "PROCESING" the thing... It uninstall the app I want to move to system app, but then never finishes processing..
I also used a app called mount "/system ro/rw". I grant it superuser permissions and when I hit the "mount /system rw" a message appears that says; "Your device might not be rooted or is it not compatible!"

Do this from terminal emulator (don't use GUI apps for things like this, they hide important errors most of the time):
Code:
$ su
# lsof /system
And watch for processes that hold the mountpoint.
Code:
# kill <that process id, one by one>
if you're sure they're not doing anything important, then try:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
again.
P.S.: you might need to install BusyBox, I don't know if lsof is available out of the box.

I've installed busybox and when I try lsof /system it says "toybox: Unknown command lsof", is there any solution?
